Riyasaat-e-nafrat mein wo keh rahi hai,

Ki kisi roz mein apna aashiyana banaungi.

Lekin baandh kar aah, keh gayi hanste hue,

Tu apna basta huwa ghar zaroor barbaad karke jayegi.

​Wo chahat rakhti hai ki bad-naseeb likh de mujhe,

Aur keh gayi ki tera muqaddar bhi tujhe yu hi ruswa kare.

Wo iltaja karti hai ki mujhe kabhi mohabbat na mile,

Dua karti hai ki mera naseeb bhi mujhe be-dard maut maare.

​Wo elaan karti hai ki main kisi sukoon ke qaabil nahi,

Magar ek baar zara wo aayine ke muqabil to aaye.

Agar jhaank sake wo apni be-hiss rooh mein,

To usse bad-shakl, usse siyah koi shai nazar na aaye.

​Meri bhi bas ab ek hi iltaja hai is zamaaney se,

Ki tujhe tere hi aamaal ka phal na mile...

Warna to baqi-manda zindagi,

Tu bhi meri tarah ek zinda jahannam mein jeeyegi.
